    Hi All,

    Nice to see this back and updated.

    Quick question, how did you bring up the specific configuration for each individual game in terms of on screen buttons and video mode etc ?

    I remember before you could customize the shown buttons on a game by game basis when in full screen landscape mode.

    Thanks.

    Thanks to Seleuco for posting this, hope it sticks around because it is actually legit despite that users can alter and install more ROMs.

    I had great luck with the Mortal Kombat series, through Ultimate 3, all work great at almost a constant 100% on my A6 devices. My A5 devices struggle a bit around 65-75% but is helped by the Speed Hacks in the MAME in-game menu (START+COIN).

    It also works great with my iOS arcade cabinet setup.

    Now to get Apple to fix the VGA out on Lightning connector devices.

    Yeah. I have 0 idea on how to set this up. I put some roms I downloaded into the rom folder section but everytime I try to play one of the roms on my phone, it says it's missing one or more required rom or chd images..

    Help.. :(

    Can get to the title screens of the playchoice 10 games, but can't get past that. Can anyone please pm or explain how to get these classic games going on my 4s?

    iMAME4All was based on an older version of MAME engine that is less CPU intensive. That is why it's better on older iDevices. MAME4iOS has a larger game library, but needs faster hardware.

    I figured I'd bump this quote as this explains it for all those asking. You simply download a free program on your computer called ifunbox, then put the zipped mame roms (find these yourself it is really easy) into the folder gus posted. And you touch coin + start at the same time to bring up the menu (though I still can't seem to get this part working).

    and just search for a demo on how to back up the .ipa file so you can restore this on any of your unbroken idevices in the future. This really is an awesome release.

    Even simple Galaga won't work, says there is a rom image missing. How do I solve this?

    The only thing I need to know now is where to put the bios. And is there a bios needed to run tower of doom? I'm almost there but not quite.

    Where do you put the bios to run Playchoice 10 games, and how can I get past the title screens on them? when I press coin, it just goes black.

    guess playchoice doesn't work properly, i have the same problem.
    Dahak seems to have the solution to change the Start button inside the internal game menu... but i have my doubts :rolleyes:

    bios are only to emulate other machines, like NES, SNES, Genesis, etc... Tower of Doom is an arcade game, so you need just to put the rom into roms folder... et voilá!

    Hey I've been creepily ghosting on TA forums for ages sniffing around the icade and emulator stuff trying to get info. Stoked I picked Gridlee up as I missed Imame.

    I've loaded quite a few roms onto the roms file but have had no success in booting up the ####ers. I get the usual missing files error. Can someone PM me where I'm going wrong.

    Thanks :)

    Ok, but in what folder in ifunbox do I put the bios?

    I see thanks for the clarification. I just can't seem to get tower of doom or shinobi to work and I've tried about 3 different versions of each.

    Seriously, if you hadn't volunteered a helpful site (unsolicited but helpful none the less), I'd just tell you to shove it after that comment.

    The key thing you may be getting wrong is that it is the Enter button you need to map, the Start button should already be mapped correctly for PC10 games (and all MAME titles).
